Sunday Jun 09, 2019
This week we break down a comical week chock full of mistakes at the back (that continued at the time of recording) and look at the teams whose favours are starting to change ahead of the break, and those who just can't seem to catch a break.

This week we take a look at a tale of two very different LA teams, a massive away effort from San Jose, and finally some movement from the Whitecaps to address abuse allegations. We also dissect the teams who are on the rise, bounding up and down, and those who are flat-lining.

Friday May 03, 2019
This week we start with a look at the ongoing dumpster fire that is the Whitecaps front office and response to abuse allegations. We break down some teams that just can't quit: especially Houston and Montreal, who seem content to (not so) quietly climb up the table. Plus we dive into the first ever weekend of Canadian Premier League action. Oh yeah, and Philly won while we recorded.

Saturday Apr 27, 2019
In an action packed week, we were seeing 50 shades of blue as MLS teams donned their parley kits for Earth Day, which taught us... something about Earth? The Earthquakes bounced back, giants continued to stumble, and the Whitecaps very nearly played well over two games. We also cover some of the disconnect that seems to be happening between clubs and their fan base, especially with another walkout planned in Vancouver.

In another week of unpredictable games and results, we look at some teams that are starting to right their respective ships, and also at some MLS giants who seem to be a long way off. We talk about behaviour from players as well, including a rare moment of taking Ibra's side and of course we talk about Kaku kicking a ball at fans.
